Spring Awakening is an awesome rock musical and Broadway smash that won eight Tony Awards including Best Musical. Based on the Expressionist play that caused a scandal in 19th-century Germany, this poignant musical follows a group of teenagers as they navigate the confusing and often troubled waters of adolescence, complicated by their budding sexuality. Inspired by Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play, the musical's angst, emotion, desire and romance still ring true today, and its acclaimed score by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater turns this timeless story into a powerful coming-of-age rock musical. The Keegan Theatre's production is directed by two-time Helen Hayes nominees Susan Marie Rhea and Mark A. Rhea. Learn More

Well staged production of a new play that contrasts an early 20th Century murder in Nelson County, Virginia, and the aftermath of the Viet Nam War. Tipped a bit toward melodrama at one time.Written on Jan 11 2011

Unfortunately, and despite game efforts on the part of the cast and director, this play just tried to bite off more than it could chew. Two intertwining and complex stories, one set in 1907, the other set in 2007, required more exposition than the spare set and the actors could support. The constant time shift would have been merely irritating had it not been for some casting choices that required great leaps of faith on the part of the audience to see any kind of connection between the two main characters. Additionally, the character of the pregnant wife was one of the least dimensional female roles I've ever seen.Written on Jan 10 2011
While they gave it an excellent effort, this show is in sore need of cutting and re-staging.

This performance was my first experience at the Keegan Theatre, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the professional production. Not only the acting but also the staging were well done and appropriate. The development of parallel plots in different time periods more or less simultaneously acted could have flopped but did not.Written on Jan 10 2011

Overall I liked the play and enjoyed checking out the Keegan theater for the first time. The storyline is ambitious, and as the previous reviewer noted at times seemed to be covering too much in one play. That said, I enjoyed the interplay on stage between the two different stories and time periods. It is was a bit morose for a Saturday night - but I still enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.Written on Jan 10 2011
